Objectively speaking, Haori had all his skill points invested in critical hits, so even a powerful being like the Tailed Beast would be half-dead after a short time in his hands.
Without a Jinchūriki's control, a Tailed Beast's own brain wasn't very bright when it came to fighting. They would just chuck Tailed Beast Balls.
The Three-Tails, which had lost consciousness, just floated on the surface of the water. Its entire body was covered in blood. It had completely become a red turtle.
There was no way around it. After all, it had so many blood holes in its body.
Some work wasn't appropriate to do on the lake surface. Haori thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to move the Three-Tails to land.
Besides, he could also let Mirai and the others observe this Level 1 Protected Animal of the ninja world up close. That way, they wouldn't be caught off guard if they encountered something similar in the future.
But if Haori had to move it himself… he could do it, but it would be too tiring.
So, he chewed his finger, formed hand seals, and summoned the Split Dog.
Although the Split Dog was huge, it still looked a bit disproportionate compared to the Three-Tails. But it was enough for towing operations. After all, this was on the surface of the water. It was really that smooth.
Three dog heads bit the Three-Tails' tail. The Split Dog dragged the massive Three-Tails to the shore in a backward motion.
As for the severed tail, Haori didn't bother with it. He would leave it to feed the fish. It was a benefit to the ecosystem that had been plagued by Tailed Beasts for so long.
"Haori, what are we going to do next?" After satisfying her curiosity, Mirai asked Haori.
"Next, Mirai, you need to carefully sense the Three-Tails' chakra. Understand?"
"Understood!"
When Haori spoke in this tone, it was considered a major mission for Mirai.
According to Haori's original plan, he wanted to slice and dice the Three-Tails bit by bit, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up. The scene was too beautiful. It wasn't something that these young children should see.
Maybe Kimimaro, who was a bit colder in personality, wouldn't mind. But Mirai and Haku… they could handle seeing a blood-soaked Godzilla. But if you let them see someone cooking a monster like that, the impact of the scene would be too strong.
It might not be called pampering Mirai, but Haori did have concerns about "early childhood education." After all, he really lacked experience in this area. So, too much is as bad as too little. He had to stick to moderation when it was appropriate.
"Next, you guys, don't come near me. You can't appear in front of me. And touching me is strictly forbidden."
Haori said very seriously.
It wasn't that he didn't want to let them see his eyes. Actually, it didn't matter whether they saw them or not. But anything that appeared in these eyes had the possibility of "death." Maybe even a small, unintentional movement could lead to an irreversible outcome. Anything that could be prevented should be prevented. Anything that could be cautious should be cautious.
After they understood the seriousness of the situation, they all stepped back a considerable distance. They still had curious looks on their faces, wanting to see what Haori was going to do. But they also absolutely obeyed his orders.
However, for the next five minutes, Haori stood there motionless, as if he couldn't hold something in.
The word "hold" was used correctly. He was really holding something in.
Looking at Haori from the front, his face turned slightly pale before he reopened his eyes.
The highest-level weapon he possessed was activated again… Death Line. It wasn't needed for now. Haori needed to focus more.
Next, Haori's pupils, rather than contracting from time to time, were actually pulsating in a certain rhythm.
"I see it." It took a lot of energy. Haori saw the death point.
Under these eyes, a cut object didn't have physical concepts like density or hardness. There was no distinction between being hard to cut or easy to cut. When you saw it, when you touched it, it meant you had cut it. Then, the target would be killed.
Haori held the Iron Sand Sword and lightly poked a certain point on the Three-Tails' neck.
There was even a wound caused by the Railgun there. But the weapon of causality and physical damage were ultimately different. No matter how severe the injury caused by the Railgun, it didn't exceed the ordinary level.
As the tip of the sword touched that point, the Three-Tails' body scattered on the ground like paper in a shredder. It was in chunks and soundless.
This eerie scene made the three children feel a little horrified… This was a Tailed Beast. And it just died like that?
Then, the flesh and blood made of chakra melted quickly like ice under a flame. Even the bloodstains on the ground disappeared. It was as if the Three-Tails had never existed.
After doing all this, Haori closed his eyes again.
When he reopened his eyes, he had returned to his usual appearance. The color had gradually returned to his face.
Then, he turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled for Mirai to come over.
"Mirai, how is it? Can you still sense the Three-Tails' chakra?"
Would this attempt be able to kill the Three-Tails? Haori wasn't sure.
The Death God's Eye could indeed do that, but the prerequisite was that he had to correctly understand the death of the Tailed Beast. As for the concept of killing the Three-Tails, that meant not only making the Three-Tails disappear completely but also making everyone in the world no longer know what the "Three-Tails" was. That seemed a bit far-fetched for Haori.
"The chakra still exists."
That was okay. Even if he completely erased the Three-Tails, there would be enough chakra residue from the battle just now. It should dissipate soon.
But Mirai's next words dispelled Haori's optimism.
"The amount of chakra is still huge. And although it's very slow, Mirai feels like it's flowing in the same direction."
That wasn't flowing. It was gathering. Or, should it be called… rebirth?
"As expected, things aren't that simple."
Haori was a little disappointed, but not seriously. Failure wasn't unexpected. It just meant that his understanding of the Three-Tails' death was wrong.
The Tailed Beasts were indeed chakra aggregates, but they had a shared body. To kill a Tailed Beast, you had to at least understand this. But it seemed that Haori was still treating each Tailed Beast as an individual…
That was definitely a problem.
In short, although he had killed a Tailed Beast and received a lot of admiring gazes, in terms of purpose and experimentation, Haori had failed.
Haku had worked hard for nothing.
But the "test subjects" were rare. The difficulty of obtaining the rest was too high. Haori wanted the Three-Tails to be resurrected immediately so that he could kill it again using a different approach. But that was impossible in the short term.
